Yiannis has been amazing in helping to organize and run the AppSec DC conference. His strong technical understanding of security risks coupled with his ability to communicate complex technical problems to a diverse range of people has made him an asset at the conference.

Adam Baso

OWASP MSP

Yiannis has the magic touch. In addition to being a clear communicator, Yiannis comes from a strong technical foundation. This adds legitimacy to his interactions with others. Perhaps more importantly, Yiannis is a likeable guy. The OWASP Global Industry Committee will be well served to bring on such a sharp and thoughtful ambassador to the software assurance communities.
